Freedom of expression in Poetry.

[Truerenigma]

I just think it's irresponsible to lose one's muse, considering the leash law and all. As far as gods, I wasn't talking about religion.

Religious poetry, like any poetry, is good if it's done well.

P.s. It can be also be quite inspirational

The question though, really, it's that if the poem is a translation of the voice of God (not to say that such things don't exist), or else some metaphysical muse, and can only be translated by it's medium (the poet), than what's the point in workshopping it? Who am I to suggest edits for spiritual entities? What am I to tell the poet, that it was translated incorrectly?

Ha, ha. Always question those whispers from higher powers. Yes, even 'The Word' needs editing.

I disagree to a certain extent. I believe
freedom of religion is just as important as
free 'expression'. And I have no interest in
telling other how they should experience their
own relationship with their god. And I'm
certainly not here to argue with prophets, or
bother questioning or trying to help them
rewrite their prophesies. If someone it's
simply trying to find the best way to say
something, and wants help with that, then
fine. I'm willing to help to the best of my
ability.

Nor do I want to censure by ridicule any type
of poetry, belief, or pov. I just don't think the
three of those are the same thing.

TE,

What lofty claims would those be?

Meh, edited for clarity.
